HS Code for Crust lambskin
View full HS code detailsHS code 4105.30 is the specific designation for tanned or crust skins of sheep or lambs. This classification is part of Chapter 41, which deals with raw hides, skins, and leather. To qualify for this code, the skins must have the wool removed and must be in the dry state, commonly referred to as "crust." The crusting process involves tanning the skin to stabilize the collagen fibers and then drying it. This code excludes skins that have been further prepared after tanning, such as those that have been dyed, printed, or given a patent finish. Lambskin is particularly valued for its suppleness, and the 4105.30 classification ensures that the material is recognized as a semi-processed commodity rather than a finished leather product or a raw skin.

Common Misclassification
The most frequent misclassification occurs with HS code 4105.10, which covers sheep and lamb skins in the wet state. Additionally, if the lambskin still has the wool on, it must be classified under Chapter 43 (Furskins). If the skin has been further prepared after crusting, it moves to HS code 4112.00. Distinguishing between "crust" and "finished" leather is essential for correct duty application.
